But what about the other parts of the defense? The Giants still have needs at every level, including linebacker.Despite trading for Alec Ogletree a year ago, the Giants¡¯ linebacking corps remains a disappointment. So could the team look to use one of their first round selections to shore up the middle of their defense? If so, they might want to follow the lead of the Indianapolis Colts (who selected defensive rookie of the year Darius Leonard) and find themselves an athletic off-ball linebacker who can keep up with modern offenses. In that case they should take a close look at Devin Bush out of Michigan. MeasurablesProsHighly athletic off-ball linebacker.Shows good instincts and fast processing. Usually takes an accurate first step.Explosively powerful. Able to deliver a jolt to much larger linemen. Comfortable playing in space and very rangy.Able to cover most tight ends and running backs in man coverage. Trusts his eyes and plays fast, but is also generally disciplined.ConsSize limits him disengaging from blockers if they are ready for him.Active hands, but needs to be more effective using them as a rusher.Prospect VideoWhat They¡¯re Saying - Kyle Crabbs (The Draft Network - Scouting Report)Does He Fit The Giants?Devin Bush would be an excellent fit for the Giants¡¯ linebacking unit. He might be ¡°undersized,¡± but he is undersized in the same kind of way that a Jack Russell Terrier is ¡°undersized¡± -- it might be physically true http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-mario-edwards-jr-jerse
y , but he¡¯s built like a coiled spring and there¡¯s a stick of dynamite somewhere in the pedigree. Bush is a perfect fit as a ¡°new age¡± linebacker¡¯s athleticism blurs the lines between linebacker and box safety. With the spread of Air Raid principles in the NFL, defenses need athletic players at every level of defense to better cover wide swaths of field, keep up with hyper-athletic offenses, and be better able to deal with the various conflicts into which offenses try to put defenders. Devin Bush should be able to play any linebacker position, but he would be a natural ¡°Moneybacker¡± in the Giants¡¯ defense. There his frenetic play-style would help to keep the team from being gashed by running backs and tight ends in the passing game, while also helping out the pass rush as an athletic blitzer. It would also allow the Giants to move Ogletree to the strong-inside linebacker role. There are some things that Bush will still need to improve at the NFL level, such as getting off of blockers and navigating the clutter near the line of scrimmage. He is disciplined and instinctive, but he can occasionally lose track of his teammates while tracking the ball and get blocked by his own players. But despite those negatives and his size concerns Nate Solder Jersey , Bush should be a productive player very early in his career. Is N¡¯Keal Harry the future for the Giants¡¯ receiving corps?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 172019 NFL DraftArizona State receiver N¡¯Keal Harry could appeal to both Dave Gettleman and Pat ShurmurNew,24commentsIs N¡¯Keal Harry the future for the Giants¡¯ receiving corps?EDTShareTweetShareShareArizona State receiver N¡¯Keal Harry could appeal to both Dave Gettleman and Pat ShurmurJoe Camporeale-USA TODAY SportsThe 2019 wide receiver class is a deep and talented one, and certainly more-so than it largely gets credit. The problem is that until the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, there were no real ¡°blue chip¡± prospects who stand out as obvious Top 10 picks. There are, however, a bevy of talented prospects with the upside to start and be significant contributors in a variety of NFL offenses. That¡¯s good news for a New York Giants team suddenly in dire need of young, affordable receiving talent for their offense. Giants¡¯ GM Dave Gettleman has repeatedly voiced his preference for ¡°big men¡± playing football Womens Rhett Ellison Jersey , while offensive architect Pat Shurmur¡¯s scheme looks to get the ball to playmakers in space. Given his size and ability to create after the catch, the two could find common ground in Arizona State receiver N¡¯Keal Harry.MeasurablesProsPrototypical size and frame for the NFL, uses his size to his advantage.Very strong lower body and great contact balance. Impressive ability to create after the catch.Dangerous with the ball in space or on screen passes.Capable route runner. Makes great use of double-moves.Good release against off coverage.Versatile. Plays the X, Z, and Slot positions.ConsInconsistent hands.Inefficient release against press coverage. Struggles to separate against tight coverage. Shows some lower-body stiffnessProspect VideoWhat They¡¯re Saying - Jon Ledyard (The Draft Network - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?With the current void in the Giants¡¯ receiving room and the lack of a true ¡°X¡± receiver, N¡¯Keal Harry presents an intriguing option. He has the size that Dave Gettleman covets in football players, while his ability after the catch is a great fit with Pat Shurmur¡¯s scheme. Harry was primarily used on short underneath passes or wide receiver screens, and he can be deadly with the ball in his hands. Like many of the running backs this year Sterling Shepard Jersey , Harry has tremendous balance through contact, which combined with his powerful lower body, lets him disregard arm tackles and keep running. Interestingly, he doesn¡¯t profile as a player who would be especially ¡°shifty¡± after the catch, showing stiffness in his hips and ankles, but he is able to stick a leg in the ground and cut explosively -- if not smoothly. Harry shows strong hands to hold on to the ball in contested catch situations, but he also has occasions where he fights the ball or suffers concentration drops.All told, N¡¯Keal Harry isn¡¯t a perfect receiver and has issues to work on http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-darian-thompson-jersey
, most notably his releases against press coverage and consistency catching the ball. However, his combination of traits could make him appealing to both the Giants¡¯ general manager and head coach. If he is on the board in the second round, the Giants might be hard-pressed to pass on him.
